I really felt bad for Hillary during Saturday Night Debate. She pushed all the right buttons. She was first to bring up the economy and the Alternative Minimum Tax. It went for naught and it will in New Hampshire.

When faced with a mania, in this case Obamamania, you have to recognize that all mania's are one trick pony's. In this instance the trick is change v. status quo.

Hillary, as any well trained lawyer will do, attacks. The minute she did, Edwards made her look like an angry ugly frustrated old woman. We just don't want to see women in that light. Hillary needs to challenge, rather than attack.

She needs to use her lawyerly skills and Socratic Method and challenge Obama & Edwards. She needs to challenge as though she were taking a deposition. Challenge, not confrontation is the way to defeat Obama. Point by point. Stick and move. Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. Obama supporters won't hear it in NH. It's too late.

If Hillary starts now though, she could challenge him through the media and continue laying it on, point by point; through the South Carolina, Nevada & Florida round of debates.

You defeat mania with logic, one step, one point at a time. Eventually the Obamamaniacs, as the Dean-iacs did in '04, will hear and/or see the major gaffe or she'll expose him as a lightweight. It's Hillary's only shot.

Come on CS - vote FOR something. Not just against something.

This isn't about how much you dislike someone personally. Or it shouldn't be. It should be about how much someone who's running speaks to your concerns, and whether you believe they can follow through.

WTF does crossing party lines in TN have to do the point of this thread? Obviously you lack the sense to even remotely touch on the point. Is this somehow cute? Intelligent? Witty? Or, none of the aforementioned? I vote the latter.
